In this paper, we enumerate with signs the holomorphic maps between Real Riemann surfaces. We relate the signs and the numbers obtained to the Real Gromov-Witten theory of the target. For a finite group $G$ with a non-trivial morphism to…

Let $\phi$ be a birational map of the complex projective plane. We know that $\phi$ can be written as a composition of automorphisms of $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$ and the standard quadratic birational map $\sigma$. This writing, that is…

We show that if f: X --> Y is a finite, separable morphism of smooth curves defined over a finite field F_q, where q is larger than an explicit constant depending only on the degree of f and the genus of X, then f maps X(F_q) surjectively…

The $F$-signature is a numerical invariant defined by the number of free direct summands in the Frobenius push-forward, and it measures singularities in positive characteristic. It can be generalized by focussing on the number of non-free…

We develop technics of birational geometry to study automorphisms of affine surfaces admitting many distinct rational fibrations, with a particular focus on the interactions between automorphisms and these fibrations. In particular, we…

Suppose that $f: Y\to X$ is a proper, dominant, tamely ramified morphism of algebraic surfaces, over a perfect field. We show that it is possible to perform sequences of monoidal transforms $Y'\to Y$ and $X'\to X$ to obtain an induced…

We study the dynamics of holomorphic correspondences $f$ on a compact Riemann surface $X$ in the case, so far not well understood, where $f$ and $f^{-1}$ have the same topological degree. Under a mild and necessary condition that we call…

We first relate an approximate $n^{th}$-order left derivative of $s(R, f^t)$ at the F-pure threshold $c$ to the F-splitting ratio $r_F(R, f^c)$. Next, we apply the methods developed by Monsky and Teixeira in their investigation of syzygy…

We provide a simple proof that the partial sums $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ of a Rademacher random multiplicative function $f$ change sign infinitely often as $x\to\infty$, almost surely.

Suppose that $\pi \: Y \to X$ is a finite map of normal varieties over a perfect field of characteristic $p > 0$. Previous work of the authors gave a criterion for when Frobenius splittings on $X$ (or more generally any $p^{-e}$-linear map)…

Suppose that $\Phi:X\to Y$ is a morphism from a 3 fold to a surface (over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero). We prove that there exist sequences of blowups of nonsingular subvarieties $X_1\to X$ and $Y_1\to Y$ such that…

Given a foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$ and an embedding $X\subseteq Y$, is there a foliation on $Y$ extending $\mathcal{F}$? Using formal methods, we show that this question has an affirmative answer whenever the embedding is sufficiently…

Signature plays an important role in geometry and topology. In the space with singularity, Goresky and MacPherson extend the signatures to oriented pseudomanifolds with only even codimensional stratums by using generalized Poincare duality…

In this paper we associate an invariant to a biquaternion algebra $B$ over a field $K$ with a subfield $F$ such that $K/F$ is a quadratic separable extension and $\operatorname{char}(F)=2$. We show that this invariant is trivial exactly…

According to a formula by Gordon and Litherland, the signature of a knot K can be computed as the signature of a Goeritz matrix of K minus a suitable correction term, read off from the diagram of K. In this article, we consider the family…

We construct examples of Lefschetz fibrations with prescribed singular fibers. By taking differences of pairs of such fibrations with the same singular fibers, we obtain new examples of surface bundles over surfaces with non-zero signature.…

We study the group of birational selfmaps of a variety birational to a conic bundle. We prove that it admits a surjective morphism to the direct sum of an uncountable number of copies of $\mathbb Z/2\IZ$.

In this note, we lay the groundwork for a new approach to the problem of group-signature classification of group actions on closed Riemann surfaces. This new approach first focuses on analyzing the low level arithmetic conditions on…

Let us consider a compact oriented riemannian manifold M without boundary and of dimension n=4k. The signature of M is defined as the signature of a given quadratic form Q. Two different products could be used to define Q and they render…

Given a countable group $G$ and two subshifts $X$ and $Y$ over $G$, a continuous, shift-commuting map $\phi : X \to Y$ is called a homomorphism. Our main result states that if every finitely generated subgroup of $G$ has polynomial growth,…
